Yesterday Colton turned 6. So weird right? I have a 6 year old. I don't know how, I just gave birth to him last week. I swear, I have the stomach fat to prove it.
I am feeling a little guilty for not getting a post done yesterday, but I am hoping that the killer birthday party we had excuses me. I was busy ALL day, and then when I wasn't, I was exhausted.
I think I will write a few things about my 6 year old, and show you a few pictures as a teaser to the "Super Mario Party" post that will soon follow. When I have recovered from my party hang-over.
So, here is the thing about my Shmote. He is great. And here are a few of the reasons why....
*he gives the best hugs
*he argues like nobodies business
*he is an amazing big brother....to addy. someone else is too busy pushing his buttons to be mentioned here. actually him and aubs have the most fun running around the house together when i vacuum. it is pretty cute to watch.
*he has been an awesome kindergartner.
*he loves to play video games.
*he loves to collect things.
*if he is sent to his room, or flees to his room because of the injustice inflicted upon him by his parents, he comes back downstairs with his blanket around his shoulders or over his head almost every time.
*his concept of time, "you mean like in 20 hours it will be time to go?" "Oh, not like 20, maybe like 5, 6 minutes?" "Oh, like when the thing on the clock goes like straight, and then the other one goes like this?"
*He says 'serious', 'fart', 'weasel', 'your bracket is busted', 'noooo', 'uh-huh, that's what grandma said', 'totally', 'mom, you said!', 'dad said no', 'can i please have someone over?', 'oh, you mean like...', 'i am totally the best at this', 'tedder ball', 'it needs new batteries', 'can i play wii? what about the playstation? what about my dsi? the computer?', 'there's nothing to do', 'you never let me do anything', 'watch me mom/dad', 'why do i have to take a bath? i took one yesterday', 'uhhhh, why do i have too?', 'goodnight mom, love you', 'aubrrrrey', 'i'm gonna get you booskers!', 'can i go somewhere?', 'i already know how', 'can i watch a show?', 'remember at the beach...', and so many other things all the time, alot of these I hear daily.
He is learning tons and growing like a weed, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. He starts t-ball this week, and I am pretty excited to see how he does. I wish there was a way Kent and I could get him to understand that he won't be good at everything right away, but if he just keeps trying! He is so quick to give up when he isn't instantly good. But how do you explain potential to a
Here are just a few pictures from yesterday....

Happy Birthday, Colton!
Rachel, I can not believe I called and asked you a babysitting favor on such a busy day. I am so sorry! I would never have disturbed you if I knew that was going on. Sounds like it was killer though. Well done! Can't wait to see more pics.
Can't wait to see pics from the party! Sounds like we were doing the same thing just a week apart from each other. I had no idea Colton's birthday was so close to Natalie's. Or maybe I did and I just forgot? I'm totally in shock at the whole number 6 business myself. What happened to my baby!!! I love all the things you said about him, totally capturing the good and the "not so good". I need to do a post like this about my kiddos.
His sayings are classic. I can picture him saying them all. The thing I love about Colton is you can practically see the wheels in his head turning as he's trying to figure something out, or think of what he's going to say next, or argue with your logic...what a kid. We love Colton!!
Wow! You are such a good mom! Look at all that work! Carson's b-day is this week and he won't have nearly as cool as a party! Now I feel super guilty....thanks a lot! We really should get the boys together sometime! Us too!
